A Farewell To Arms

Portrait of the Artist as a sour Old Man ilprofessore In the final years of his life, Irish-American Scott Fitzgerald transposed himself into the soul of Monroe Stahr, the Jewish head of a powerful film studio. Employed as an MGM writer, Fitzgerald based the prototypical artist as business man on his highly romantic view of his boss Irving Thalberg. Odder still is this choice of Fitzgerald's friend, the non-co. Nobel Prize winner but not my favourite Paul Rooney Frederick Henry is an American soldier serving as a Ambulance driver for the Italian Army in the First World War.Through a colleague he meets Catherine Barkley , a British nurse. This book is the story of their love affair with the war as a back drop.Shortly after the initial meeting Henry is seriously wounded and the affair blossoms as Catherine nurses him. Mark Oshman said “A Farewell to Arms is one of the great books of the twentieth century. “A Farewell to Arms is one of the great books of the twentieth century.” – So says the first line of the introduction of this book by Sean Hemingway (Ernest’s grandson). I disagree.While there are some interesting insights into the misery and meaninglessness of war (WWI in this case), little else about the book seemed worth reading.
